Pentagon: A Chinese missile crashed to the ground around May 8, its exact location was known only hours ago

A Pentagon spokesman said, “The US Space Command knows and tracks the position of the Chinese Long March 5B spacecraft in space, but the exact point of entry into Earth’s atmosphere – estimated to be around May 8 – can only be determined a few hours ago. ”

It is almost impossible to predict which part will burn or break. Experts say that most things will burn in return. But a year ago, debris from a Long March 5B missile ended up in Ivory Coast, destroying homes.
